the funny part is that even though one of the good guys died due to a fucked up decision that no-knock warrants for bags of cocaine is the correct way to go, the supposed cop fans, for want of a better word, are so entrenched in their 'what authority says goes' mindset that the death of a total innocent still isn't enough to plant a seed of doubt that maybe just maybe this was a bad way to do things.
Maybe in the old days the higher-ups realised that an announcement and 100% clarity that it was cops at the door was important to ensure no cops were shot in the line of duty due to the very real possibility the criminal thought he was under attack from another criminal(s). Maybe they thought that was more important than losing a conviction due to some guy flushing coke down the toilet.
I mean really, what's the justification that force can give for a police officer dying while climbing through a window - well mrs.widow & children - the price was well worth it, because the guy who we didn't find any drugs on, could have flushed them *if* he actually had any. Don't worry though, the guy who killed your husband/dad is going to be executed.
Seems a great trade '_'
